They won't have any jurisdiction to do anything against FC all they could do was impose a fine on City but even then I'm sure they'd not have a leg to stand on.

What they may be able to do is stop any clubs doing this from the off BUT it would be difficult as you say to break a lease should a clause not have been written in the contract to say if the team go into the Premier league then the other club would have to move out.

I hope the RL actually don’t just sit back and take this and come out and back up the clubs that are in this position.

Won't affect us as Hull City don't own the stadium and The Premier League are not the law plus Hull City will be in the championship in four weeks anyways and will not come back up for long time.

Not immediately relevant, but there is a story about extending the KC's capacity to 30k, with a hotel and business park in the HDMhttps://www.thisishullandeastriding.co.uk/news/163-20m-hotel-business-centre-unlock-KC-Stadium-expansion/article-1978475-detail/article.htmlrl

The SMC, City, Bartlett, Pearson, The council or Hull RLFC do NOT have £20mill

It'd be a hotelier or commercial property developer funding it if it did happen, I assume.

Ah the good old HDM they've dusted of this story again. Next week they'll be an interview with Paul Cooke telling us how victimised he and his gran are!!

And then it'll be the same question to Rule "are we signing Paul Cooke?"

On the KC, isn't Pearson here to sell the club?

pearson,could always try and sell to the former portsmouth ''owners''

There is little doubt discussions will be had at PL level about this issue. Teams like Everton, Man utd and others have used the state of the pitch particulalry at Wigan, as an excuse every time they have a below par performance.

What may happen as a result is that they could make a rule that would prevent any further admission to a team that ground shares. This would not immediately affect the current situation but should city or wigan or both go down, they would have to make serious adjustment plans if they ever intended getting back there.

On a more cynical note, should either team manage to stave off the dreaded relegation into undoubted oblivion, the PL and their referees may well ensure its only a stay of execution for the next year = problems solved

So are they saying to Huddersfield, Reading. Watford.Oldham,Cardiff, Bradford city if they more to Odsal,plus any other clubs who share stadi you have no chance of the promised land. No use of Old Trafford (( they had a rugby union match there this season} or Wembley. The Rugby League i think have a user agreement there for ex number of years to.

Hull City Council will tell them to take a running jump ..The KC Stadium was built has a Sporting Arena To be used all year round ..The Council involved Hull F C / Hull City in talk when the K C Stadium was Built ..If both teams had not agreed to play in the Stadium it would not have been built ..People should remember the Council paid Hull cash for the Boulevard as part of the deal for us to move into the K C Stadium ..Plus we have a lease and for the Council to terminate that would cost the Council a lot of money Or a new ground I cannot see them doing that

The Premier League makes me laugh,not only are they taking the game away from the ordinary punter,but they also want to dictate what other sports do.
I hope the R.L tell them to ram it.

What a crock of poop this story is ! if it was up to me premier league clubs in the same city should be made to ground share , ala Pool/Everton.
If not,don`t let em build another one.

It's a non event really and has only come up because of the extra snow cover and freezing we endured this winter. This had a major effect on all pitches not just dual use ones, also as stadiums get bigger with better cover the pitches get less sun exposure which also affects growth etc.
